The Metamorphosis

The Metamorphosis

"This book is one of six volumes in the "Designer Collaboration Series - K Classics." *The Metamorphosis* is Kafka's famous novella, completed in 1912 and published in 1915.
The protagonist, Gregor, is a traveling salesman for a company and the sole financial support for his family. One morning, Gregor wakes up to find himself transformed into a beetle. From then on, he not only loses his ability to live and work but is also seen as a burden and a scandal by his family. His parents and sister's attitudes suddenly reverse, from respect to disgust, revealing indifferent faces. Finally, Gregor dies alone from starvation. "
Editor's Recommendation:
★ The "K Classics" series includes all of Kafka's short and medium-length works published during his lifetime. It also includes 6 unpublished posthumous works by Kafka, Kafka's will, and a chronology of Kafka's life.
★ Eight works are exclusive to the Tong Yali translation, three of which are short posthumous works making their debut in simplified Chinese.
★ Peter Mendelsund, a world-leading book designer, crafted the cover design, creating "artworks within a book." His designs have been described by *The Wall Street Journal* as "the most recognizable and representative designs among contemporary novel covers." "K Classics" breaks away from the traditionally heavy and simple Kafka book designs, offering a cutting-edge feel; abstract graphics and vibrant colors breathe new life into Kafka's works.
★ Direct translation from German, single translator. Compared to the common compiled and translated editions on the market, the "K Classics" series has a more unified linguistic style; direct translation from German purely restores the essence of Kafka's works.
